COLOR — Blue and Grey FLOWER — Ragged Robin SONG “The Fight is on,0 Seniors! 18 CATHERINE BRUGH “The sweetest thing that ever grew beside a human door” Had we not had this little lady for our mascot we are afraid we should not have gotten along so well as a class. She is even as lovely and win- some as her picture shows. HANNAH MILDRED CARSON “Give ample room and verge enough” Ad Editor; Secretary Class ’22; Vice- President ’23; President ’25; Bobby Club; Triangle Club; D. I. W. K.; Juicy Harp Club. Mildred may tip the scales a bit over one hundred, but this just means that many pounds more of fun, charm, and happiness for the Class. As our President she showed her ability as a leader by tactfully leading us through party wrangles, selection of rings and invitations with no casualties and with every one in a good humor. 19 ELIZABETH LEE CONNER “ Her face, as the great eye of Heaven, shines bright” Literary Editor Oriole; Juicy Harp Club Elizabeth does everything well, but you should hear her “parlez vous francais” ' she sounds almost like a native. She is generous and always considerate of others, two character- istics which have endeared her to Pulaski Hi, and which will win ad- miration wherever she goes. MARGARET E. BREWER “ Her head was bound with curls o’ergrown” Treasurer Class 22; President Class ’23; 5| Reporter Class ’24; President Triple Triangle Club; Rapunzel Club; Editor- in-Chief of Oriole. Honors come to those who deserve them, therefore when we began to look for an editor of The Oriole we se- lected Margaret for the job. She is a model student and when her name appeared on the honor roll each month, it not only meant much to her but to the Class as well as the public was thus reminded that there was a Senior Class. Margaret is also a great lover of the out of doors, and is a Scout worthy of the name. 20 WILLIE MABLE COALSON “Girls of few words are the best after all” Joke Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club Although Mable has very little to say unless called upon by her teachers, she is always willing to help us when- ever she is needed. She has certain- ly done her share to make this Class one of the best ever. Don’t think she is too studious to be, and have, lots of fun for she comes in for her share of that too. We wish for her the success she so well deserves. MARY THOMAS BURNETT “For meikle fun and glee has she Art Editor of Oriole; D. I. W. K. ; Presi- dent of Juicy Harp Club; dce-Presi- dent Senior Class; ' ice-President Triple Triangle Club. Since her entrance a year and a half ago, “Polly” has been prominent in almost every school activity. Her friendly and charming manner quick- ly won her a place in the hearts of all. She never worries about her work, yet she is not afraid to ask for her grades. We hope that she will not soon forget us, and that P. H. S. and Virginia will always be symbols of happiness to her. 21 LENA THOMAS GRAY “Let us then he what we are and speak what we think” Juicy Harp Club; Rapunzel Club; Joke Editor Oriole. Lena is impulsive but has a heart of gold and she believes in taking up for the rights of others as well as for her- self. She is rather plain spoken and has a style of expression that makes of her an individual. She is a good Physics student and is generous in aiding others in their experiments. V. E. JAMES CUMMINGS “Hail! Hail! The gang ' s all here.” Vice-President D. I. W. K. ’25; Triple Triangle Club; Bobby Club; Juicy Harp Club; Basketball Squad; Mono- gram Club; Photographic Editor Oriole. James is the youngest in our Class, and being possessed of a happy dis- position, she is a great favorite of the student body. In basketball it is better to have “Jimmie” on your side than against you, as members of the team will testify. She has certainly helped P. H. S. roll up the score. Her recitations did not suffer for she has some how found time to study and has a good record. 22 MARIE GLENNWOOD HARDY “It ' s nice to be natural when you’re naturally nice” Junior Historian; Treasurer Rapunzel Club; Juicy Harp Club; Associate Editor-in-Chief of Oriole. Marie is called Grandma by her class-mates. We aren’t sure as to the appropriateness of the nick- name, but we do know that one has to be more or less popular to acquire one. If you want to find out just how old-fashioned she is turn elsewhere in The Oriole and read her “The Girl of Today.” ANNA LOUISE HURST “Hath thy toil o ' er books consumed the mid-night oil. ” D. I. W. K.; Triangle Club; Juicy Harp Club; Photograph Editor of The Oriole; Triple Triangle Club. If you see Louise looking thoughtful then break into a beaming smile; it isn’t because she has found a long lost friend. Oh, no, for Louise has the cross-word puzzle craze and she has just remembered that “finish” in seven letters is diploma! 23 ETHEL VIRGINIA LEWTIY “ cannot tell how the truth may he, I say the tale as ' Haas given to me. Club Editor of Oriole; Bobby Club; D. I. W. K.; Juicy Harp Club. “Well! Have you heard this one?” Ethel is always ready to spring a new one and whenever there seems to be a veil of unhappiness over the Class “Lewey” lifts it by giving us her newest joke. She is good at making candy as well as at eating it, either of which is quite an accomplishment. She is an asset to the Class, ready to share in our joys and to sympathize in our sorrows. LOUISE KIRKNER None hut the hrave deserve the fair Athletic Editor of Oriole; Bobby Club; Triangle Club; President D. I. W. K. There are lots of things one could say about Louise, but we will cover ground briefly by saying, “She’s a Byrd!” She is the only one to tackle a diploma and a wedding certificate in the same year. She’s always there for the fun or for anything else that takes place, and she is always happy and smiling. 24 MYRTLE MAY MYERS ' ' I ' ll girdle the earth in forty minutes” Associate Literary Editor Oriole; Rapun- zel Club; Juicy Harp Club. “Hop outa the way!” Here comes Myrtle at top speed on the last lap of her daily hike and run to school. She always gets here too in fact Myrtle always gets to the goal, whether it’s to school or the latest geometry original. We know those kids she is going to have in her school will surely have to hustle. DAISY LOU MATHENEY J ' God gave ns the talent to smile; let us use it” .Athletic Editor of Oriole; Historian ' 23; Rapunzel C ' lub; Class Prophet. Daisy Lou has a smile for everyone and when she is in a crowd her smile is contagious. She is very active and has chosen a medical career from which she will probably gain a nation- al reputation. We are sure that her many excellent qualities will contri- bute materially to her success in her chosen profession. 25 S. SELMA QUESENBERRY ‘‘She is gentle; she is shy Bobby Club; D. I. W. K.; Joke Editor of Oriole; Juicy Harp Club; Triangle Club. Don’t think because Selma is so quiet in class that she doesn’t enjoy having a good time with the rest of us. She is always on hand even though she does seem to have some “outside interests.’’ We like her too and are sure she will succeed in what- ever she undertakes. VIRGINIA NEALE ROBERTS Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low President Class ’22; Rapunzel Club; Juicy Harp Club; ’ice-President Triple Tringle Club; President Literary So- ciety ’25; Literary Editor Oriole. Virginia is jolly and is always ready to lend a helping hand something which is often needed. She seems to have a place reserved on the honor roll for her name appears thereon each month. Virginia will always find it easy to make friends because of her attractive personality. 26 RHODA NEEL SHEPPARD “ am sure care’s an enemy to life” President Class ’24; Treasurer Literary Society ' 24; President D. I. W. K. Club; Reporter Triple Triangle Club ' 25; Bobby Club; Juicy Harp Club; Ad Editor Oriole. Rhoda Neel has a habit of strolling in in the middle of English class, but when we consider that she brought the Ford as well as herself, we are thankful that she arrived at all. She is always in the “thick of the battle,” whether of fun or play, for she is not a person with a one track mind. Consequently, she is very happy as also are those with whom she comes in contact. AUDREY SASHER “Of manners gentle, of affection mild” Vice-President Bobby Club ' 22; Secretary Triple Triangle Club ' 25; Reporter Class ’25; Juicy Harp Club; D. I. VV. K. Art Editor Oriole. We feel as cheerful and happy as the cow in the picture below when Audrey comes around. She has many accomplishments, being an artist and a musician. Personally we think her knowledge of French should be listed as an accomplish- ment too. We do not know what she plans to do after finishing school but — well, more anon. 27 ANNA CHRISTINE SMITH “Snit the action to the word, the word to the action” D. I. W. K.; Triple Triangle Club; Juicy Harp Club; Bobby Club; Photographic Editor Oriole. If you’ve never heard Anna recite and sing in the voice of a five-year old you have missed something. The accomplishment is a bit unusual but the mimicry is perfect. If there is anything going on Anna is right there, and her lovable disposition and good nature will not soon be forgotten. VIRGINIA ELLEN SNIDER ”Is she not passing Jairi” President Triple Triangle Club; Juicy Harp Club; ' ice-President Triangle Club ’23; Secretary Class ’22; D. I. VV. K.; Art Editor Oriole. “Hark, hark, the dogs do bark, Virginia is coming to town.’’ And you may be sure she’s in the “velvet gown” too. Her accomplishments are varied; she is our artist and musi- cian-in a word just a good all-round Senior. She is always ready for any- thing, whether it is helping her “ship-wrecked brothers” or just hav- ing a jolly good time. 28 DOROTHY SPENCE “They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts” Rapunzel Club; Juicy Harp Club; As- sociate Club Editor Oriole. Dorothy may appear somewhat retired with persons whom she does not know very well but when she is in a congenial crowd, especially if they are speaking French, her merry laugh rings out. We know that whatever work she may undertake she will always stand among the first and her thoughtfulness for others will win her many friends. MARY LOUISE STRAUSS “So long as life and health allows, I ' ll be raising hogs and cows.” Secretary and Treasurer Juicy Harp Club; Rapunzel Club; D. I. W. K. ; -Associate Club Editor Oriole. Louise has made many friends because of her cherry and amiable disposition. She is also an energetic worker and a consistent student. She is in love with rural life and be- lieves that her future happiness will be found on the farm among the cows and chickens. 29 EDGAR ROLAND CARRICO “A wise and masterly inactivity” Secretary Class ' 25; Athletic Editor Oriole If forced to do so Edgar can give very masterly answers in class not that he doesn’t know his lessons, but he does not believe in using any more energy than is absolutely re- quired. We have learned from ex- perience, however, that he is a deep thinker even though he is generally a person of few words. ROBERT CARLYLE BUNTS ”Is this that gallant, gay Lothario?” Bachelor Club ’23, ’24; Treasurer Mono- gram Club; Ad Editor Oriole. Carl is both gallant and gay; the “Lothario” part naturally follows; and he is always bubbling over with life. He cannot be termed a great student, however, because his motto is “study just enough to get through.” You can imagine how much he is liked when you learn that he was voted the most popular boy in school. 30 LENIS HART “None but himself can be his parallel Treasurer Senior Class; Associate Busi- ness Manager Oriole. It is literally true that no one could have taken Lenis’ place in the Class. His good humor is almost proverbial; we’ve never seen him even a bit ruf- fled in all the four years or more that we have known him and that’s saying a lot, considering all the ups and downs of the Class. THEODORE R. HALL “For rhetoric he could not ope His mouth, but out there flew a trope.” Treasurer Class ’22; Business Manager Oriole. “Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity and avoid all poly- syllabic profundity.’’ This is Theo- dore’s way of saying, “Speak plainly and naturally.’’ When the Class grows weary of cross-word puzzles there is always Theodore to puzzle over. We can almost understand him now —at times! And argue — well he can prove that Hamlet was either sane or insane and prove each conclusively. This is an important item for he intends to become a statesman. 31 SENIOR HISTORY CHAPTER I— FRESHMEN” O N THE first day of the ninth month, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, we, a band of fifty, entered what is known as a High School Career. In the grades we had been accustomed to being looked up to at least by the ones lower than we. But now it seemed as though e -eryone looked down on us and called us Freshies.” It took us nearly all of the nine months to get over the feeling of self-consciousness that we felt when anyone so much as glanced our way. Of course, e -erything the Seniors did we tried to do also but usually got the worst of it. By the time school closed, however, we were beginning to breathe a bit more freely. Also most of us had managed to get our hair bobbed, but what was the use — the Seniors didn’t e en laugh at us any more. Frankly we had ceased to exist so far as they were concerned. And so we ciuietly and peacefully took our finals and most of us became Sopho- mores. CHAPTER II— SOPHOMORES” After three short months of acation, we entered our second year of high school. Now our time had come, we thought, when we could make fun of the freshmen. But before this fun had gotten started good one of the Seniors said: They are neither man nor woman. They are neither brute nor human — They are Sophs.” So you see e en though we were one step farther toward suc- cess it seemed until we gained success we would be looked down upon. I ' he subjects being harder, they took most of our time. Com- mencement finally came and with more attention paid us than last year, we became Juniors. CHAPTER HI— JUNIORS” This having been willed to us by last year’s Juniors, we were true to our name Jolly Juniors.” We made the year a jolly one — perhaps too jolly for some of our teachers. Suddenly 32 mid-term exams arri -ed. Could it be possible we had just fooled away the first half of the year? First one teacher and then another would tell us that we must get down to work if we expected to be seniors. Finally we realized that though it was all right to have fun we must study also. Some of our class- mates failed to realize this and when the final exams came — alas! Only twenty-five were allowed to be called, what we had worked so hard all through high school to reach — Seniors. CHAPTER I ’— “SEXIORS” Our last year has been a busy one. Some folks think Sen- iors haven’t anything to do. We thought so once, but it would keep anyone busy trying to take full ad ' antage of our one or two pri ' ileges and wondering how on earth we could acquire one more at least. Then there’s our annual that we must give much attention to and try to make it the best ever published. Now let us stop a minute and think. Is this honor of being a Senior really as great as it seems? There’s a sadness as well as gladness, for your school days are the happiest days of your life. And now to think of leaving all your dear class-mates and teachers who have worked so faithfully with you for four long years, and also to our principal must be gi ' en some credit for our Class being just exactly what it is. But I think our memory will not let us forget our friends in P. H. S., even though it did let us forget our studies at times. James Cummings, ’25. 33 CLASS PROPHECY S LL CLASSES that go out from Pulaski High School have a prophet of some kind. Owing to the fact that I am always prophesying about and for the Seniors, I suppose they thought 1 was the best they could do. Permit me to lift the veil and bring before you what the future holds for the Senior Class of 1925. Great things, of course, are in store for a class so gifted and studious and so far reaching in intellectual attainments — a class that dreams and plans and looks forward to the day when they can accomplish something worth while, when it can be said that the world has been made a better place to live in by their having li ed in it. First allow me to foretell the future of our illustrious Presi- dent, Mildred Carson. She will begin teaching after the com- pletion of a college course but her perseverance in the classroom and her conscientious efforts will soon win for her the superin- tendency. For the future of Margaret Brewer, I see one of the greatest lawyers the country has ever known. By her great skill and the soundness of a logical mind she has won this distinction and is permitted to argue before the Supreme Court of the Ihiited States — a privilege granted to few. For Mabel Coalson, I see her the mistress of a pretty little bungalow with roses twined around the back door. Domestic duties have not changed the buoyant happy disposition of her girlhood days. She is also one of the foremost charity and wel- fare workers in the city where she resides. For Marie Hardy I see an exceptionally brilliant career. She has ceased to be the quiet staid “grandma” of her high school days; she puts her thoughts into action, she is a famous liteiary woman as well as a social reformer; she is also Congresswoman from the Ninth District and none of us will be surprised when we find that the Hardy Reform Bill will pass Congress by an o ' er- whelming majority. To Lena Gray, who is steadfast, trustworthy and ambitious, success is sure to come. There are many things she could do but she prefers school teaching to anything else, but she doesn’t punish her pupils severely as you might think she would be- cause she hasn’t forgotten her own mischievous school days. 34 Owing to iMyrtle Myers’ mathematical ability, she will make one of the greatest architects of the Twentieth Century. Any- one as ambitious and courageous as Myrtle could not be satis- fied with anything but a dazzling career. The future holds for Dorothy Spence a place as member of the faculty of Columbia University. She is, of course, a French teacher. We would expect nothing less of a student as am- bitious as Dorothy. Success will surely crown her efforts. For Selma Quesenberry the future holds a responsible posi- tion as stenographer for the Ford Motor Company. Owing to Audrey Sasher’s ability to learn French, she will become French governess for a millionaire’s children in New York. For Virginia Snider I foretell a great musical career. Due to her wonderful talent and untiring efforts she will become President of the International Music Club which meets in Vienna annually. For Virginia Roberts the future holds a place as petite dan- cing teacher of folk dances in a kindergarten school in New York City. For Rhoda Neel Sheppard the future holds a picturesque little bungalow in Hollywood, California, where she is famous as a movie actress; even we in Pulaski will see her on the screen. Some of us will even visit her in Hollywood. After completion of a course in nursing at Johns Hopkins Hospital, I see Louise Strauss doing public welfare nursing in the slums of New York City. Because of her charitable dis- position she has won the title of a second Florence Nightingale. For Louise Hurst I foretell a highly successful musical career. She will receive a degree from Randolph- Macon College but she is selfish and isn’t satisfied with one degree. She will get a degree from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. She will be a great and highly accomplished musician. For Anna Smith, who has talents differing from the rest of us, I foretell glorious success for her as a great prima donna in New York. Her name will ring throughout America and will win fame well deserved. For James Cummings the future holds a place as a social and welfare worker in the slums of Chicago where she devotes her 35 time to the poor and neglected of the city. Her cards will read Dr. J. V. Cummings, General Practitioner. For Elizabeth Conner, who has the mind of genius and who never knew what it was to make less than ninety-nine on French, there are of course great things in store for her. After completing a French course in gay Paree she will accept the position as French teacher at the Uni ersity of Ne ada. I see Ethel Lewey, who has a sunny, comical disposition, as the foremost comedienne of the day. She can play before New York’s largest audience but she prefers to play in the audi- toriums of welfare hospitals in large cities for the amusement of the poor and crippled children who cannot afford the price of public amusement. For Mary Burnett, who is so studious and so conscientious and broad minded, I foretell a great career as religious educator from the State of drginia. She travels all over the continent giving lectures on religious education. For Robert Carlyle Bunts I foretell a great career as a plastic surgeon. I can see him now in a handsome car rushing down the city streets, but the reason he is exceeding the speed limit is because he has been called in a hurry to perform a very serious as well as a skillful operation. He will make a name for himself as one of America’s foremost surgeons. For Lenis Hart I foretell a career as Professor of Agriculture at Cornell University. For Edgar Carico the future holds success which Edgar will stri e diligently to achieve. He will own a large printing office and will carry on the printing business with marked success. Last, but not least, comes Theodore Hall, the Demosthenes of the Twentieth Century. He will make a speedy entrance into Congress and after one of his lengthy and forceful argu- ments any bill he offers will pass Congress by an overwhelming majority. Daisy Lou Matheney, ’25. 36 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ’E, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty- five, owing to our proud nature in wishing to dispose of all of our old property and acquire new, and convinced of the fact that we will no longer be pupils of P. H. S. and cannot take property (termed ours) away with us, do hereby bequeath to the oncoming classes our property both real and personal. First, we will to the Junior Class our so called Senior Hall — - and by this we do not mean “Theodore.” This Hall is to be used at all times necessary, whether for roaming, social gather- ings (including gossips), or business meetings. We also will the Juniors our “little cretonne curtain” to be nailed up at the door when holding a business meeting, to keep those on the outside, not wanted on the “in,” and to keep the inquisitive passers by busy in guessing “What those Seniors are up to now.” We also will them the right to organize a “Band that will outrival Sousa’s” Also the right to listen to the songs sung to them by the Juniors without getting their deportment cut to “B.” Last, if not least, TAc OnWc, which has “chirped and chirped” so long for a leather back, in hopes its wish will be fulfilled and they can issue one not costing over two fifty. Second, to the remainder of the school we will the right to become “Seniors” with their many privileges, dignified ma nners, and commanding ways, the right to ask for a gymnasium and get it, and the right to join the Literary Society provided they will act when placed upon the program. Third, Carl Bunts wills his six feet four inches to Julian Grose- close. Ethel Lewey wills her “pulling bones” to Lelia Pike. James wills her surname “Cummings” to Otis Spraker, who never comes; also her ability as a basket ball player to Caroline Knapp. Margaret Brewer wills her “A’s” on deportment to Bill Thomas, and the right to get away with her sly tricks to Bud Crockett. Mable Coalson wills her “hair biscuits” to Lila Gilmer. Myrtle Myers wills her speed in getting to school to Ethel Lyons. 37 Lena Gray wills her “blue dotted voile dress,’’ accomijanied by the guarantee it will not fade or shrink and will last a life- time, to Anna Cecil. Mildred Carson wills her long eyelashes to Lillian Lowman and her sweet smile to Flossie Nowlin. Louise Kirkner, since she chose to become a “Byrd’’ and fly away, wills her maiden name to Blanche W’hitaker. Daisy Lou Matheney wills her right to come and lea e school when she pleases to Mary Draper, also her sophisticated lec- tures to Ruth Jackson. Mary Burnett wills her “high shingle bob’’ to Lucile Umber- ger and her dimples to Ima Bunts. Audrey Sasher wills her “blushes’’ to June Hurd — she has “moore’’ to will but won’t. Theodore Hall wills his “senatorship” to Robley Wood. Louise Hurst wills her right to purchase three packs of “Wrigley’s Gum’’ for her class-mates to Tom Jordan. Lenis Hart wills his poetical ability to Dewey Dalton. Rhoda Neel Sheppard wills her short dresses to Louise Bryant. Marie Hardy wills her nick name “Grandma’’ to Gray Baxter and her knowledge to Charles Gatewood. Edgar Carrico wills his reputation as “Sheik of the Senior Class’’ to Dick Glenn, also the right to become stubborn during “French class’’ to Ansell Derrick. Louise Strauss wills her amiable disposition to Inez Weeks. Elizabeth Conner wills her love to help her fellow students to Lena Bones. Selma Quesenberry wills her private box at the Dalton The- atre to Sallie Farmer. Virginia Roberts wills her gentle voice to Katherine Dudley. Dorothy Spence wills her mass of black hair to Lucile Byrd. Virginia Snider wills her neatness in dress to Tom Dale. Anna Smith wills her “baby talk’’ to Margaret Dyer. Fourth, to the faculty we will the following; To Prof. Brugh, our sincere appreciation for the interest he has taken in keeping us in our own room and out of chapel during study hours, also for the interest he has shown in us by having a speaker to address us every Monday morning in chapel. 38 To Miss Finks, an English class that will some day be great poets and will hand in all written work on time. Also many thanks for her willingness to help us at all times in any under- taking. To Mr. Eckman, a French class that will some day learn to conjugate all irregular erbs and to pronounce “Monsieur,” and will come up with nothing less than ninety-nine for their marks. To Miss Fry, a Geometry class that will never discuss other topics while a proposition is being put on the board and one that won’t ask which propositions are important. To Miss Fleet, a Latin class that won’t think Aneas brought the arms of his body to Dido instead of his weapons and won’t have “tears as big as horse chestnuts in their eyes” when asked to translate. To Miss Davis, boys who will walk out quietly in an orderly line and never hght at the front of the room or lock each other in the cloak room. To one and all the memories of a pleasant high school career, as has been ours in the past. In testimony whereof, we have written and signed and do declare this to be our last Will and Testament. Anna Smith, ’25. 39 ECHOES FROM THE FOURTH YEAR V’irginia Snider: “I think so too.” Mary Burnett: “Yes suh!

Mary Draper has won quite a name by writing essays and histories of fame. Clarence Painter, known also as “Sciuirt,” will fall, I think, for most any “skirt.” Tecumseh and Dewey Dalton, for brothers, take the cake; their loud and constant talking keeps the sleepiest of us awake. Our jolliest girl is Louise W’hitt; of “Spaniards” and other things she knows (luite a bit. George Crowder can in argument excel, but then, he can do most anything well. Margaret Kirkman is our “Cicero shark,” and really, I be- lieve, she thinks it’s a lark. One of our members w e could not do without is Lillian Low- man without a doubt. Next 1 must mention Junior Lyon; hang around with him if you want some good times. Lelia and Della, known as “The Pikes,” are two girls in the Class e eryone likes. Otis Speaker is known as a sheik, but I think you wall hnd him really quite meek. irginia Runyon, as everyone says, charms her listeners whenever she plays. ' A’oodson Cummings w ' aited for us; he helps us make a great deal of fuss. Frances Mullins in looks is cjuite fair and whenever you w ' ant her she always is there. W’alter Wyatt, a farmer on the dot, of chickens and cow s knows quite a lot. Margaret Dyer is our artist and poet; soon, I will w ager, the world will know ' it. Next in line comes Lucille Byrd, whose laughter and chatter you certainly have heard. One dayw ' hen Tom Jordan spoke, e ' ery one laughed for they thought it a joke. 46 Ruth Jackson is little in size, l)Ut small i3eoi)le are often c]uite wise. Lena Bones, our best sport, is in for athletics, no matter the sort. Blanche ’hitaker, we like her so much, she slips through so easy, is ne -er “in Dutch.’’ Sherwood X’aughan is one of our best, but then, you know, so are the rest. Of course you ha e heard of Jtidson Harris; do not speak to him often or he’ll be embarrassed. Kathleen Hurst has the cross-word puzzle craze; she has work- ed them so much we are all in a daze. ’e all have great hopes for our “Junior Class Baby;’’ Hurst Owen will fulhll them too, maybe. Clara Nelson is certainly all right; she knows her lessons without studying all night. Next in line is Charlie Gatewood ; he plays tricks on the teach- ers no one else ever could. Mary Boyd, our star who is never outclassed; on French she cannot be surpassed. Wdlliam Thomas, alias “Tom Toddy, ’’is frequently described as all head, no body. Ansell Derrick, the brightest of boys, can study and learn without making much noise. So timid and shy is Inez Weeks that the whole room jumps whenever she speaks. Dean Creger is really so witty, that we cannot have him always is really a pity. Carson Dalton, next in the row, has proved to us that know- ledge can grow. Elva Runion is our new class-mate; her history further I am unable to relate. Another new member is David Kent ; not much time with us has he spent. After reading about us, I am sure you have a “hunch’’ that this Junior room is surely some “bunch.’’ Mary Fitzhugh, ’26. 47 X HA E never been quite able to understand why they call these things histories. Real, honest to goodness history is interesting, in parts at least, and deals with something which was destined to shape the future of the country, but somehow I am not able to comprehend the trials and tribulations of the Junior Class shaping the destiny of anything — except report cards. As no annual seems complete without one, however, I will endeavor to “make history.” By dint of hard labor or good luck on our part the sev ' enth grade was deprived of a number of good pupils in the fall of 1922. But what was the grammar grades’ loss was the high school’s gain as any loyal Junior can testify. We had always heard that the first year was a “cinch,” the second year a little harder than anything that we had ever tackled, and the third year just a little worse than that. Some have found this report true; others, the greater number, seem to think that one year was just as bad as the other; while a few, greatly in the minority, have considered every year quite easy. But e eryone has accomplished something, for it takes hard work to earn a reputation for being the “worst class in school.” Aside from this one main accomplishment we have acciuired quite an enviable record in scholastic, athletic, and social matters. Wisely leaving the first for discussion among the faculty, I will attempt to enlighten you as to our accomplishments in the last two mentioned. Taking athletics first, you will find by a close obser ' ation of this copy of The Oriole that our class was very well represented on the football field as well as on the bas- ketball court. All the teachers will be able to attest to our athletic prowess in class. Take for instance our aptness for throwing erasers. Considering the social side of school life you will find that we are very prominent there also. This will remind the Seniors of a very delightful Hallowe’en evening. What could be nicer than a party given by the Juniors? If you doubt my veracity just ask the Seniors. It seems to be the usual thing to finish a Junior Class history with a statement of their sincere wish to become Seniors. We will be conventional and state the same thing only we wish to add a hope to graduate — eventually. But the historian of next year’s Senior Class can express more clearly than I, our ambitions in our own edition of The Oriole. Mary D.

We started with high ambition to begin on those four long terms of high school work. ' hen we met Miss Frye it ga e us a high desire for algebra. Miss Fleet introduced us to Latin, which of course, was very new to us. Mrs. Allen was substituting in history so we had a line teacher to start us in our “new history” until Miss Davis arrived. Miss Finks brought forth an English book and gave us a splendid desire to “strive and succeed.” Mr. Eckman was the “Master of Science” to those who took this study. d ' hey say that the Freshman Class is the worst class in school. We are always in some mischief or disobeying the rule. There’s always some one giggling, or somebody out of their seat. The floor is covered with paper; it never does look neat. We work and work themes never ending. They think we have nothing to do; Now let me tell you A Freshman ne •er gets through. We did feel very important when we decided to entertain the Juniors. Some said it was foolish and wouldn’t consider giv- ing them a party — most of them came though, and we think they were glad they did. We may not seem very important to others but we ha ’e the advantage over the Seniors, for instance, as we still have three bright years before us. 58 Eiterarp A THOUGHT CAN we not always have the simple faith and con- tentment of a little child? Does not that question often occur to you? As we grow older do we not become discontented with our lot? We no longer are able to see the small things in Nature that have at one time been a great discovery to our simple minds and a source of untold happiness. We overlook all of these and only see the big things on the surface; little details make up the whole, but we no longer consider these, and yet we go about constantly airing our hollow knowledge. Why not turn to Mother Nature? There is not an ill that she has not a cure for, but she is not so obliging as to bring it to us; we must seek her. Into the mountains that overhang this valley let us go! As we ascend its side in the dewey morning, our cares depart with the sun’s first signal of his rosy messengers before his palace walls, and as his golden chariot draws near our spirits leap up as the burden is gradually lifted and we smile and challenge him to a race to the top of the hill. W’hen defeated do we feel any chagrin? No, we are no longer the downtrodden slave of care. We bask in the sun’s cheery glow, feel the cool breeze on our cheek, breathe deeply of the pine scented wood, and are glad. Down into the valley we go! She extends her shadowy hands, and shows us her flowery treasures, and we are refreshed by a drink from her crystal waters. On and on we go, what mind we the tiny avalanches that tumble o er each other at every step we make? Ah! We are at the summit of the high purple peak that has stood guarding the valley for centuries. Why do we feel so small? Have we actually lost some of our gigantic stature? Is it possible our knowledge is not so great as we thought? Now we realize the truth! What is man that Thou art mindful of him, O Lord?’’ How small our mightiest structures seem! From what man made tower can we see so far? God and God alone reigns supreme and Nature is but His agent. You can feel an Unseen Presence and you hide your face in shame. Could it really ha e been you who were pressed by care a short 60 time ago? How foolish you were! “Never more shall I mur- mer under my tiny burden,” you whisper. You look for many minutes over the rolling plains of green, the almost minute darker patches of trees, the waters — tiny silvery serpents run- ning to the sea, and then the minute specks — man’s habitation. You heave a heavy sigh from the bottom of your heart when the little silent messengers of sun and shadow whisper, “’Tis time to return.” Onward down the hills you trudge picking up your burdens with renewed courage and your heart singing a paean of joy as you go. Margaret Brewer, ’25. 61 DUTY O l TY and conscience are very closely related ; conscience, good or bad, prompts one to do or not to do his or her duty. Everyone, rich and poor alike, has some duty to perform and we are held responsible for this duty according to our ability. A dutiful man does not live for himself alone, but for others as well. Duty well done adopts a larger creed and a loftier code, and is usually performed cjuietly — not looking for applause and flattering comments. It is our duty to be honest and truthful. Also it is our duty to guard against any form of bribery, and the man who can be bought is a traitor to civilization and the briber is equally as despicable. It is true that it takes courage to perform one’s duty, but valor is a part of duty. Sacrihces are being made daily among men who endea or to discharge their duty to the fullest degree. The captain is always the last to leave the sinking ship; the soldier looks death in the face without flinching; missionaries brave the dangers and hardships of heathen lands; all leaders shoulder the responsibilities of their followers — all these are examples of duty. And now, class-mates, throughout the game of life it is your honest and sincere duty to make the most of the education you have acquired, and end your active days with the supreme con- solation of duty well done. Edgar Carrico, ’25. 62 1 H E GIRL OF TODAY do the majority of the pcojilc condemn and speak so n uch harm of the girl of today? V ' hy don’t they study the girl a little more before the exj:ress their opinion and see if they don’t find more good than harmful things to say about her. ! think if we would only take a litt’e more time to consider her good qualities we would not haA c any spare time for criticism. Let’s do a little analyz.ing of the girl of today and see if her way of li ing isn’t an improvement o -er the ways of the older generations. We vill take the three main faults that most people criticize her for. First, she bobs her hair; well it’s more con- A cnient, it’s more sanitary, and it’s more becoming. But some say, “Yes, but she bobbed it only for style’s sake;’’ probably she did, and I guess our grandm.others wore rats for the same reason, amd I am sure they weren’t cither healthy or convenient. Next, her clothes are — well, there is no fit or shape to them and there is no over supply of material in them. That is all true, they are not so heavy, long, and tight, so as to hinder proper circulation, and they are not long enough to be used as a vacuum cleaner to gather up the dirt that might be in their path. d he last criticism is that she is very unladylike. Why? Be- cause she takes an active part in all healthy outdoor e.cercises she can, such as swimming, skating, basket ball, running the car, etc. I guess she should be sitting by the fire, in an air- tight house, piecing a quilt. If she did this rouge would have to take the place of the natural coloring in her checks. I want to mention the education of the girl of today. Did you ever see larger graduating clas.ses than those of the present time, and such oung girls too; the average is about scv ' enteen or eighteen. Those classes of yesterday were not so young and the a crage then was from twenty to twenty-fi ' e. Then, too, the majority of the class are not willing to stop with a high school education, but strive on and study until they are capable of entering into the line of work they have chosen as their vocation. So now, you who may have criticized, admit that you have judged her too harshly, and let’s give three cheers for that Avonderful creature so full of life and ambition — the girl of today. Marie Hardy, ’25. 63 WISHING kO you wish that P. II. S. was better? Let me tell you what to do — Set a watch upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true; Rid your mind of selfish motives, Let your thoughts be clean and high. You may make a little Eden Of the room you occupy. Do you wish that P. II. S. was wiser? Well, suppose you make a start By accumulating wisdom In the scrap-book of your heart. Do not waste one page in folly. Live to learn and learn to live. If you want to increase knowledge You must get ere you can give. Dorothy Spence, ’25. 64 TOM oiir janitor, is one of the jolly kind. Hisskin is ■ j shiny black and he has no hair on the top of his head. This he conceals either for pride or comfort by wear- ing his hat all the time. His figure is squatty and fat and his feet are extra large. A large and beautiful gold watch and chain is very conspicuously draped across his front and nothing pleases him more than to be consulted in regard to the time. This very valuable watch and chain cost him exactly forty-five dollars in spite of any suggestions to the contrary. The janitor is very particular about his brooms and cleaning utensils. Borrowers must have Tom’s permission to use them even for the very shortest time and must put them back in the proper place, which is any place Tom happened to have left them. Scolding is one of Tom’s greatest accomplishments which he has perfected from long practice. He can make one feel very low and mean and never want to repeat the offense. One never knows just where to find him for he wanders all over the s.chool. But if you would have a favor performed and want a real good jolly worker, look for Tom. Caroline Knapp, ’28. 65 GOING TO THE OFFICE other clay some one came to me and said that ■ J Prof. Brugh wished to see me. I was wondering what he wanted when it occurred to me that I had thrown some chalk in the room that morning. Then I started down the hall with my teeth chattering a regular tune. When I got to the office door I could not express in words how I felt. It seemed as if I were burning up one minute and freezing the next. Very timidly I opened the door and the first word was, “ V11.” Oh, how 1 can remember that first word, and how I dreaded to hear the rest. It was, “Well, Tom, your mother wants you to call her up on the phone before you leave school.” And you may be sure that it was with a great deal of relief and pleasure that I went back to my room.

Both teams played well but the victory went to Blacksburg by the score of 7 to 0. Next Pulaski journeyed to Wytheville where after a hard fought game neither side was able to score. The third game of the season was with Christiansburg resulting in another tie 7 to 7. This making the third year these two teams have played to a standstill. Coach Hall then took his squad to Salem. After playing a scoreless game until the last few minutes Salem was able to make a single touchdown winning the game 7 to 0. For the fifth game Pulaski went to Radford where they took the count from this strong aggregation 6 to 0. The last game of the season was with Pembroke, who ha ing a young team was easily defeated by Pulaski, the score being 34 to 0. To the Hall brothers and Richard Groseclose goes the honor of build- ing from these new men a team as successful as it was. SCHEf3ULE p. H. S. 0. . . . at Pulaski .... . Blacksburg . . 7 p. H.

Both teams played well, but the ictory went to Pulaski with a score of dl to 16. Our next game was here with Rural Re- treat. This proved an easy dctory as the score indicated — 32 to 12. Pulaski’s first game off the home court was with Stonewall Jackson’s Prep. Team. This was one of the most e.xciting games of the season and we were proud of our victory of 15 to 7. Next we played Fries on the home court, the victory being ours. On Feb. 6 we played Salem on their court. Our opponents put up a good fight but they were unable to carry off the victory, the score being 25 to 16. The most one-sided game of the season was played with Marion on their court, the score being 45 to 2 in our fa ' or. The best game played in Pulaski was one with Salem. Pulaski was again the ictor 27 to 7. On March 10 we motored to Bristol to play for the championship of Southwest Virginia, in this game our opponents were ahead until the last few minutes of the game, when Pulaski rallied and again “brought home the bacon’’ by a score of IS to 16. After this game we were awarded a banner by the General Athletic Association of L niversity of irginia for the championship of the Fourth District. March 14 the champions of Districts 4 and 5 played in Roanoke in the semi-finals of the State contest. This was a good game the first half, the score being 7 to 2 in Roanoke’s favor; Pulaski played much better in the second half but was unable to surpass her opponents’ score. The final score was 13 to 9 in Roanoke’s ' favor. With prac- tically all of our squad back next year w ' e expect to go on to the finals. SCHEDULE P. H. S 31. ... at Pulaski . . . . .

But I would be a Senior, and never do a thing. HERE are books and books around P. H. S., but we ■ j wonder whether life would be complete without this particular one, which we have created from all of the odds and ends that we just could not leave out. It contains a lot of things, hours sunny and otherwise. We hope that we will forget that little regretful feeling at having come to the end of our school life, remembering that we still have this one book to bring back memories.
